Kelle is a Yoga instructor that I've known for a few years now and has modeled for me in the past. With her tattoos, dreadlocks, and beautiful smile, she is always a great subject. One day she was saying she wanted to do another shoot, and I said that unfortunately, it's snowing! She said "snowga, we could call it snowga!!" So, here are a few photos from our "snowga" shoot!...
...and here are a couple non-snowga shoots...
Then came a shoot with Taylor. Taylor is a friend of Kelle's. She is also the friend of a former co-worker of mine. Taylor is a red haired beauty, with a fiery personality to match! She was nervous at first, but she overcame that real fast. The camera loves her!...
For the above shot, Taylor layed down in the snow. This was her idea, and it turned out brilliant!
Once again, I found myself talking with Kelle about doing an "acro yoga" shoot. I didn't know what this was at first. Acro yoga is a type of yoga that is done with a partner, some times more than one. As I learned more, and watched more, I realized that this was beautiful and I couldn't wait to photograph it. Kelle's partner for our acro shoot was Jess. Jess was a beautiful, purple haired girl with a great smile and big eyes! Kelle was the "base" and Jess was the "flyer" Here are some Urban Acro Yoga Photos...
This next portrait shoot wasn't outdoors, but it was still winter! I've known Liz for a couple of years, both from work and the climbing gym. She has a great physique and some awesome tattoos and I've wanted to photograph her for awhile and I finally got my chance, ...this winter, go figure! I call these shots "Form & Tattoos"
So, I guess Taylor really liked modeling, because she messaged me on Facebook a couple of weeks after our first shoot and wanted to do another one, which was fine by me! I did tell her that she made a liar out of me! Because after our first shoot, I told her that our next shoot would be in the warm sunshine,and now here we are, in the cold, again! But really, photographing Taylor is great, in the sun, snow, rain, sleet, or hail! She is gorgeous in any weather!
After my Acro yoga shoot with Kelle and Jess, I asked Jess if she'd like to do a singles shoot and what do you know, she said "sure". So we did a downtown yoga shoot. Now, I am not going to spread any rumors, but I think Jess has modeled before!
This is one of my favorite shoots of this winter. So simple, yet speaks volumes. I have titled this one "S-curve amongst the Pillars of Repetition"
So, as I close this blog, I'd just like to say thanks to all the models pictured above! Thanks Kelle, Taylor, Liz, and Jess! It is because of you that I get to do what I love, Make awesome images!
